I'm a Doe!

Here I was thinking that I was going to be overlooked by the lawsuit, but lo and behold I got a letter in my mailbox today, citing this post in Zen Running Order, which doesn't mention any names, but does point to the news article that started it all. Oh, and it's from February 2010, which means the statute of limitations is past. I did point to the mix in a recent thread, and am pointing to it again here, so I suppose that's the impetus.

I wonder if he's going to try to track down all the people who commented on the mix. Because I'm sure somebody saying that they like Thee Headcoats' cover of "She's Just Fifteen" is seriously injurious to his well-being.

One of us! Gooble Gobble! (although, I am not a letter holder as of yet).

God! I LOVE that movie. And I bet you'll get a letter tomorrow or the next day, based on your most recent post to the forum.

IANAL, but I'm pretty sure you can't just spontaneously add commentary about a lawsuit to that lawsuit while it's rolling.

I notice he has not sued the Boston Globe. Or, if he has, it's a separate complaint.

Has the Globe written about this yet?

His office is part of the Globe's business incubator, located in the Globe's headquarters on Morrissey Blvd.

I'm not one of the originally named Does; several other people who have reported receiving letters recently are also not in the original document. I'm having a lot of difficulty taking this as seriously as I should.

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

Not to my knowledge. I'm not sure a libel suit is really considered newsworthy; it's not like this was major regional news.

[rmd.livejournal.com]

Yet.

[infinitemorning.livejournal.com]

Probably not, but he sure seems to THINK he can, based on some of the latest letters people have been receiving. I honestly wonder how much of this he's been running past his counsel.

*high five!* You're in the club!

[lbmango.livejournal.com]

How sick is it that I'm kind of hoping that there's a letter in my mailbox when I get home?

That's pretty sick, right? yeah... B-/

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

Maybe he just can't find you!

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

same here!

[hahathor.livejournal.com]

Rock on!!

[srakkt.livejournal.com]

Probably none of it.

[srakkt.livejournal.com]

WOOOOOO! High Five! (also, you should write a one act, and we should perform it, and get all of T@F sued)

[lbmango.livejournal.com]

Possibly. I did not get a letter today... so yay? Boo? I can't decide.

[icecreamempress.livejournal.com]

My guess, as a not-a-lawyer, is that you're taking this exactly as seriously as it deserves.

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

I got a second one from him yesterday. Want it? ;-)

[achinhibitor.livejournal.com]

OMG, is that Freaks? I've never seen footage from it!

[lbmango.livejournal.com]

Naw, I feel like I have to EARN it...

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

Something tells me you're on your way. :-)

Enjoy! It's one of my all-time favorite movies.
